At work, we have first aid supplies that are convenient for any case of medical need. These are put in the clinic where a nurse administers first aid. Contained in a first aid box, these are kept organised. First aid content is composed of the basic medical supplies. The officials of our company want the employees to be safe in their premises. In this manner, we are assured of good health among everyone. When accidents happen during work hours, it is necessary to alleviate the pain temporarily.
In seeking first aid, the supplies have to be gotten from a waterproof container. This is to ensure that these items are kept dry and safe. Putting tiny items in Ziploc bags is a good way to protect them. We make sure that the supplies have extra stocks. When an employee feels dizzy, he may get Bonamine from the first aid box. The appearance of a wound has to be covered with a bandage and tape. Allergies may be applied with the right medication.
The presence of insect bites wants antibiotic ointment to be put. In the scenario of body pain, there has to be relievers such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Using scissors for cutting the tape and bandage is necessary. An employee who experienced a minor cut was treated with a gauze pad. The administering nurse washed her hands first with soap. We want to prevent bacteria from entering the cut. Putting pressure on the gauze pad for a few minutes was necessary.
When the bleeding stopped, the nurse washed the cut with cool water. Surrounding the wound, she cleansed the skin with soap. A wet cloth was used to wipe it. The wound is not suitable for soap to enter. Skin irritation may occur and it aggravates the condition of the wound. Also, prevent using hydrogen peroxide as irritation may also be experienced. Get scissors that alcohol has cleaned. Inside the wound, unpleasant particles are removed.
All of these first aid supplies are gotten from the first aid box. In having a cut, it is not necessary to always put bandage. Only put when the body part has dirt or rubs against clothing. This bandage protects the wound from having bacteria. Let the wound heal quicker with the right first aid content. It is advisable for the bandage to be changed daily. Also, in instances that dirt is trapped or it gets wet. Giving first aid to this situation is done in a delicate and proper manner.
After first aid is conducted, the bandage may be removed. Seeing a scab form on the wound in a solid appearance is the sign of being healed. Going to the doctor is necessary when the wound is deep, with jagged edges or long. This indicates that a tetanus shot and stitches may be sought. Since the cut may come from dirt, the tetanus shot is the solution.
